It lias been ui-g-ecl ag-ainst 

PROF. COOK'S 

BALM OF LIFE 

By intelligent persons, that he has recommended it 
for too many ills; that he presses it upon the public 
as a UNIVERSAL PANACEA. Lovers of truth and 
the afflicted are each personally interested in know- 
ing whether this apparently just plea is true or spe- 
cious. The discoverer and proprietor challenges 
the most rigorous investigation into this matter, 
and desires only that he shall be heard before being 
judged. The fact that he had made a MOST WON- 
DERFUL DISCOVERY, of a medicinal combination 
of rare efficacy, in many diseases, he did unhesita- 
tingly proclaim. 

At first he knew only a few of its virtues, and, what 
is true of no other preparation ever brought out, the 
people themselves have been the discoverers of ita tran- 
scendent powers. The candid and impartial will find 
that PROF. COOK has advertised his remedy, not 
by long articles of unsustained assertions, but by 
printing certificates given by the cured. To assist 
those who will candidly look into this subject the 
following facts are briefly stated. Please consider 
them carefully, and then reflect how astonishingly 
the public liave led the inventor along by their state- 
ments. 



At first it was designed and recommended to cure 
Scald Head, Tetter, Herpetic Eruptions, Dandruff, 
und similar external diseases. Then came a most 
marvellous train of certificates, which the people 
voluntarily rendered. Their own intuition led them 
to try the BALM OF LIFE for many things the dis- 
coverer had not dreamed of curing. See pamphlet 
and advertisements for full particulars of the follow- 
ing: 

Wm. S, Cooper recommends it as a dentifrice. C. 
W. Sonnenschmidt, M. D., recommends it for scrof- 
ula and leueorrhoea. J. Brainerd, M. D , first admin- 
istered it interiuiUy. J. J. Johnson, M. D., recom- 
mends it for hemorrhoids and leucorrlicea. E. S. 
Bennet, M. D., recommends it for removing dandruff, 
tetter, and sores on the head. G. Maleom, M. D., 
recommends it for growth of the hair, and skin dis- 
eases. J. AF. Davidson, M. D., recommends it for 
nervous affections, catarrh, scrofula, diarrhoea, and 
cholera infantum. La Tour M. Crist used it for dys- 
pepsia and dandruff. George Savage used it for 
chronic diarrhoea. R. J. Walker found it would cure 
cholera infantum. Mrs. Capt. Wm. H. Degges used 
it for gathered breast, and canker-sore mouth of her 
infant; Francis A. Wilson restored his hair by using 
it. Father F. Barotti, Pastor of St. Martin's Church, 
was cured of dandruff. George W. Harvey, under- 
taker, cured his child of sore nead. James A. Lucas 
saved his child from second-summer disease. Bena 
M. Simms was cured of chronic dyspepsia.
